<p>a bunch of A-s though that still count for the 4.0 UW… i don’t care that much about the difference between A and A-.</p>

<p>major ECs

computer science stuff - i spend A LOT of time creating games, which some friends and i like to play occasionally on weekends. designed some free iphone apps.</p>

<p>awards
nothing TOO major: usapho/usabo/usnco semis, aime, national merit, nat. ap scholar, lectures at ucsd and ucb, all i can really think off of the top of my head. i am very into what i do, but im not much of a competition guy. didn’t really study for any of these things, just classroom knowledge.</p>

<p>o yah, 2340 sat. 4 800s (math + sciences), didn’t take act.</p>

4

<p>and since ppl here are such standardized testing whores, 12 5s.</p>

5

<p>God I know I hate standarized tests! like my SAT I can always do well and get an 800 in math but suck in english so it messes up my overall scores…</p>

6

<p>gosh you guys suck…</p>

<p>Decent chances, you don’t have any non-academic EC’s (like music/dance, athletics, or clubs) so colleges might see you as a bit of a nerd, but your academics and academic EC’s are strong. Those olympiads are impressive without studying, even if it was only semifinals. I recommend you take a non-math science SAT 2, although too late for Stanford. Your recs and essays will probably determine your acceptance.</p>

<p>Are you a: legacy? URM? low-income? first-gen? Those will also help.</p>
